Description

Description: A historical villa with beautiful views this property is a large historic villa, originally owned by the church until 1350, and subsequently sold to a noble Florentine family. It is located in a splendid panoramic position, immersed in the peace and tranquillity of the green Mugello valley, on the southern slopes of the Apennines, 350 meters above sea level. The estate consists of 230 hectares of farmland, mostly devoted to the cultivation of wheat and cereals, alternating with chestnut woods and fields. The villa has been recently renovated, but still presents some of its original elements, such as beamed ceilings in some rooms and warm Tuscan terracotta-tiled floors. The rooms are furnished with period furniture and decorated with paintings and prints. The balconies and the windows of the villa offer beautiful views of the valley below. Guests have exclusive use of the pleasant outdoor areas and the large swimming pool. Behind the villa and the swimming pool, partly separated by a laurel hedge, is a farmhouse divided into three apartments. The caretaker lives in one of the apartments which has a separate entrance. The other two are mostly rented for long term and have separate entrances. Privacy is guaranteed. A chapel and a groove of century-old trees are in the park. A portico is furnished with table and chairs for al fresco dining. Please note that the pool is located 200 metres from the villa. Florence (45 km) can be easily reached by car or using the convenient and frequent train service fromthis property. Its location allows easy day trips to many other popular destinations in Tuscany such as Arezzo (80 km), S. Gimignano (100 km), Siena, Pisa and Lucca (120 km). Rome is only 3 hours away by motorway. Most destinations can also be reached by train from the railway station ofthis property through Florence. Golf courses, tennis courts and a riding school are in the vicinity. Lago di Bilancino (45 km) offers water sports such as sailing and windsurfing, and it has some beaches that are suitable for bathing. About the area The Mugello area in north-estern Tuscany is also known as "the Switzerland of Tuscany", because of the hilly wooded quality of the countryside, so different from that of Chianti or Maremma. There are endless possibilities for trekking, or just walking around; the roads going north to Firenzuola, Marradi or S. Godenzo will shortly take you to the slopes of the Appennini, the mountain range that separates Tuscany from Romagna. The village of Vicchio (4 km), founded in the 14th century, is the birthplace of painters Giotto and Fra Angelico. In the Museo Comunale there are many interesting pieces dating from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Several restaurants in and aroundthis property offer tasty Tuscan cooking at reasonable prices. Nearby there are places where you can take riding lessons or go out for a ride on horseback. It is possible to buy fresh bread and other basic foods inthis property. There are supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, banks, chemists and a post office. Inthis property there are also a bus station and a railway station with busses and trains for Florence. In Borgo S. Lorenzo (15 km) there is a wide selection of shops. The old centre still retains its Medieval character; the main church, although restored, dates back to the 12th century. The village of Scarperia (15 km) has been famous for centuries for its cutlery shops, where knives and all sorts of blades are still made by hand. Today it is known for two nearby modern attractions; an excellent golf course and a car racing ground (Circuito del Mugello) where F1 trials are held. Near S. Piero (15 km) you can see the fortress built by the Medici in the 16th century, and the castles of Cafaggiolo and Trebbio where Florence's leading family came from. The picturesque Designer Outlet near Barberino (30 km) with its 100 shops is well worth a visit. Keep an eye out for the mercato (itinerant market) which is to be found on fixed week days all year round in the neighbouring villages:this property, Borgo S. Lorenzo, Dicomano. The lake Lago di Bilancino (45 km) offers water sports such as sailing and windsurfing. During the summer months many of the little towns and villages in Tuscany hold their fiera (fair) or sagra (feast). People gather to look at stands, eat in the open-air restaurants or dance to the sound of old time orchestras. The most important event of this kind is the ancient Fiera Calda inthis property, which takes place in the last week of August or the first of September. Initially a cattle and horse market, it is now a combination of commercial fair, bric-à-brac and art exhibition, horse show and other events.
